Upgrading Expo – The What, The How & The Why
summary
Expo upgrade requires three concrete steps: change SDK version in app.json, update JS deps (expo, react, react‑native) and adjust code for API signature changes, then update native deps — bump iOS pod tags and run pod install and bump Android expo‑kit and update build.gradle. Expo CLI, Expo client, CocoaPods, Gradle and npm are the actual tools used. Custom/bare workflow keeps using npm only. Moving Expo features into universal modules signals eventual deprecation of the advanced workflow. Following those steps fixes the common manifest, native method and version mismatch errors.
